That's no problem, sir

We've foisted a case on him

claiming he sold drugs seized by the cops

We won't be suspected

We have used local thugs to do the job

I'll take care, sir

Basheer, shoot this dog!

That's not fair! Thick as thieves

together, but he gets the blame

What do you get?

The Game Plan

Today is a black day

for our police department

Anti corruption head Mr Kamal Ekambaram

...killed himself at 9:45 A. M

in his office room

Asst. Commissioner

Kamal Ekambaram committed

...suicide due to heavy loss

in cricket- betting

His involvement for the past few years

in cricket betting has come to light now

In the recent Indian Premier League (IPL)

If an assistant commissioner

can be pressurized by bookies

...imagine the plight of ordinary people

We have to wait and see what measures

Central Government will take

A Special squad has been formed to eradicate

betting in cricket by our government

We shall wait and watch who this head

will be and his method of operating

Shall I dance?

Sing my debut song?

With a huge fanatic fan

shall I explore headlong?

Friend with an unusual name

Disciple who spreads my fame

Come, my knave

so brave

Play 'mankatha'

The card game 'in and out'

victory you can't befriend?!

Change your mind

Happiness you'll find

Torpedo your trouble

Break all barriers to rubble

Sparks of fire within that toil

Reflexes that rise to boil

Re-define destiny

Shall I defy history?

Provoke me to tease

Touch me to please

Skip over sorrow, here after

Lord, You became my partner

Bump to incite

Be a messenger to ignite

Face with a halo-glow

Word-less shall I show?

Knowledge is power, a God-send

Realize that, my friend

Work with devotion, my dear

Success will be your volunteer

This offshoot of Valluvar's verse

if understood, hurdles are no remorse

Onus is on you

Face this challenge new

Progress

without digress!

Hold on to this flying kite

Seek within you, this find so right

Take my hand in yours so strong

Listen to your inner voice, to you I belong!

- Then what?

Looked like she was 'hitting' on you

- Who?

- That girl

She and her dress sense, it didn't look

like she was visiting your neighbor

Are you implying I pushed her

out of here before your arrival?!

Are you suspecting me?

Not you

I don't trust girls

Even if guys are saints,

can't trust these girls!

Where the hell did you keep it?

What are you hunting for?

Me? Nothing

What happened to you?

You are acting so weird

My head is...

Shall I make coffee for you?

Thank you, honey

Dad wants to meet you this Friday

He thinks we are just friends

...must have left it here

Cut off your tobacco friends!

- You look irresistible?

- What?

Your hair

Your eyes

I feel like looking at you all day long

Looks like your lips are
